I just think he's the bad karma for the pitching staff b.c we always count on him being there and have to find fillers instead of a stable arm. Or try to keep Tex………

Milledge dives for the ball but comes up without it. Lastings is hurt. Trainers out to check on him. Looks like he'll be okay to continue. - Gotay flies out deep right. Kotsay to third. 1 out. - Squeeze play attempted, Jurrjens unable to make contact with the very far outside pitch. Kotsay's out. 2 out. Nothing Jurrjens could do to get that one. - Jurrjens grounds out to short. 3 out. Gotay's playing for Kelly Johnson who was scratched before the game. I like the aggressive play, but it hurts to lose scoring opportunities. Top 3rd:

Our pitching staff hasnt had much of either this season. The excitement of having Glavine back was quickly demolished by the string of never-ending injuries. Man, our scoring opportunities never seem to go our way.. Definitely, I think team moral and confidence is huge. Our pitching staff hasnt had much of either this season.
